Ceferin: UEFA will not support the European Super League because of its low inclusivity

4:10am, 9 October 2025【Football】

October 9 News In the 17th round of La Liga on December 21, the match between Villarreal and Barcelona will be held in Miami, USA. UEFA President Ceferin issued a warning in an interview.

What do you think about moving domestic leagues (such as La Liga Villarreal vs. Barcelona) to overseas (such as the United States)?

"Football is more than a balance sheet, more than just entertainment. It is part of the life of our communities, shaped by the streets, clubs and fans. If we allow football to stray too far from its roots, we risk destroying it. In uncertain times, football is our anchor."

What is your stance on the European Super League project?

"Enduring value only comes from unity, balance and reforms that make everyone stronger, not just a few. UEFA will never organize a competition with only 12 clubs because it wants to remain inclusive and keep the dream alive. Together with the European Football Club Association, we will ensure that our club football is inclusive and that everyone has a chance to win the top competition."

What does the EU Commissioner think of this?

Glenn Micallef, the European Commissioner for Intergenerational Equity, Youth, Culture and Sports, praised UEFA’s stance against the European Super League and the move of domestic competitions overseas at the meeting.
